Inequality/poverty are also just inherently difficult problems to solve - anywhere/everywhere. The 20M people living in Scandanavia have perhaps come the closest (that utopia being certainly overstated), but the other 99.75% of the world continues to struggle.

This is an article by the well known leftist Forbes magazine where they list the top ten states for poverty. 9 out of 10 have the governing, house and senate controlled by the Republicans.

At the time of the article's publicatio 9 out of 10 of the states with the lowest levels of poverty were democratic states. Now that is 8 out of 10 with the recent change of power in Virginia.

It seems like there is a decent partisan correlation with poverty.
